No learning is wasted

His book: https://www.amazon.com/Art-Science-Design-step-step/dp/0138060266
Can apply UX principles to current job
Got jobs based on what you've done in past
Yes!
Underrated: communication
Building products is a team sport
Storytelling
It’s helpful - like speaking different language when traveling, it’s helpful to have the ability to communicate (with developers)
Metrics, end-to-end
Want to reduce risk
Simulate work environment - work with friend, volunteer, small business
Depends - everyone is different!
Some people took 1 month, or before bootcamp
Some took a year - focused on family
Depends on what you put in
People who invest in future, time - have more agency in moving forward
Structured learning is so helpful - peers
Like going to the gym - believe

Research the company
Some interviews might ask you to showcase your work/portfolio (be mindful of time)
Tell your unique story
If you haven’t made things from the course - work on projects
A lot of jobs require you to demonstrate your work, portfolio
Have something you can share and show
Practice, reading, doing a bit of everything
It’s a marathon, not a sprint
Project manage your career
Fundamentals are better than trends
Stay on top of the tools, announcements
Reading on Medium to check trends
No one knows the answer, but guess it’s like a calculator (didn’t destroy accounting) - can replace some functions but not all
Can have tools to accelerate jobs
Part of UX designer is more than a picture (photographer, camera)
1 really good case study
More is better, variety
Usually 2-3 projects
Favourite chapter - learned a concept: cognitive overload
Learning from examples, having a structure
Discount code
Take your time, be kind to yourself
